1 BSc (Hons) Nursing Studies (top-up) Undergraduate

2 Why study at Winchester? There are many reasons to study at the University of Winchester but the one to consider most is that you will become part of a safe and supportive community. The University is located within walking distance of the city centre of Winchester, which is only one hour away from London by train. The campus is located in a beautiful wooded setting overlooking the South Downs. Our graduates have a strong track record of finding employment after leaving the University. There is a dedicated Careers Service to provide advice and help you research career pathways and employers. They also organise recruitment fairs and workshops on how to write CVs and perform well at interview. We have excellent facilities for learning and teaching that are continually being updated to enhance the student experience. There is a vibrant Student Union, excellent sports facilities, a modern library and IT facilities across the campus. At the University of Winchester we aim to provide campus or University Managed Accommodation to all first year full-time undergraduates who hold Winchester as their firm choice. In addition, we also endeavour to provide students from non-eu countries and students with disabilities a room on campus, not just for their first year, but for the duration of their course. The culture of the University is informal and the emphasis is on you unlocking your potential, developing a clear sense of direction and becoming the best you can be in your chosen career. 2

3 BSc (Hons) Nursing Studies (top-up) fact file The BSc (Hons) Nursing Studies (topup) academic online programme has been prepared in response to changes occurring within nurse education. By September 2013, there will only be degree level pre-registration nursing programmes offered in the United Kingdom. This programme will allow existing nurses who hold an RGN qualification, Diploma or Diploma with Advanced Studies, the opportunity to develop their critical thinking skills in the increasingly diverse and complex climate of health care delivery. This programme is a proactive response to changes occurring within nurse education. There is a demand for higher-qualified nurses and greater support in workforce planning for continuing professional education and training of nurses to take on higher, more demanding roles. This programme has been designed as a distance learning programme and will allow students to work at their own pace and within time frames that suit them. Distance learning has the added appeal for managers who cannot release nursing staff from busy clinical areas. Students will receive an induction programme at the beginning of the course which will include an introduction to staff, e-portfolio and University of Winchester Learning Network training, and an introduction to the library facilities. Further support is offered during the programme by Skype oneto-one tutorials, and telephone conversations and use of YouTube for instant advice and help. The programme focuses on long term conditions and support and care of the older patient which take into account the changing demographic trends of an aging population. Programme Content The course can be studied over a maximum of three years. The modules are studied at University level 6 which is the final year of an undergraduate honours degree and students need to gain 60 or 120 credits at this level, depending on the students entry profile. There are two compulsory modules which students have to complete and five optional modules. Entry Requirements: All entrants will need to be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and currently working in practice in the UK. Applicants should hold a Diploma or a Diploma with Advanced Studies in Nursing or APEL equivalent, GCSE English and Maths at Grade C or above and be computer literate with internet access. Applicants will be selected following an interview. Duration: 3 years maximum part time Programme Leader: Nick Purkis Telephone: If English is not your first language: IELTS 6.5 or a TOEFL score of 600 (paper-based) or 250 (computer-based) or equivalent. Start dates: September, January Application process: Direct Entry Application Form 1

It is an excellent course with practical and achievable measurable work-related outcomes. The other important and significant point is that the course is flexible enough to allow one to work while studying. Without hesitation I would recommend this course to anyone who wishes to pursue it. Like any other areas of study, things can sometimes feel hard and daunting at the start but given the excellent guidance from the lecturers, the course is not only doable, but also enjoyable to do.
